KFC Foundation reopening applications on 31 August 2021
The KFC Foundation provides grants to support grass roots organisations in the heart of our restaurant’s communities. They support organisations empowering young people in the UK to fulfil their potential by providing safe social spaces, mentoring or work and social skills.
The programme is open to registered charities, registered community interest companies, unincorporated clubs or associations or unregistered charities with a turnover of less than £300,000.
They will make grants of between £200- £2,000 for projects which meet the following criteria:
- Benefit young people aged 11-25 years old.
- Supports those in a position of social disadvantage (i.e. care leavers, those experiencing homelessness, young carers, young parents, young people at risk of or with experience of the criminal justice system).
- Empower young people to fulfil their potential and build a positive future by providing spaces that allow young people to feel safe and secure, helping them to unlock talent, build life skills, provide mentoring and improve their chances to gain meaningful employment.
- Are local to a KFC restaurant (Find Your Local KFC).
- Will demonstrate positive results from their project within 12 months of our funding being received.
The Autumn round opens on 31 August and closes on 26 September 2021. There will be another round in Spring 2022.
